Natural, Non-Toxic Deodorant

I have been on the search for a deodorant that is non-toxic and actually works. After trying out various brands without much success (meaning they didn’t keep me feeling or smelling fresh in 100 degree heat) I have found one that works fairly well. You can’t compare it to the common brands of deodorant (secret, dove, etc.) because it doesn’t have the strong flowery scent, nor does it mask or even keep your from sweating, so you still have to take a shower every day. (Smiles)

Overall, I am really satisfied with this deodorant. I may still keep searching for one that is even better but for now this is one more step towards healthier alternatives in my daily care items.

Hops inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. The antimicrobial action of hops inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria while reducing the possibility of skin irritation.

I have also been in pursuit of a natural deodrant too and recently tried one that did not work what so ever!
Passionate Homemaking has a homemade one I’m wanting to try, did you try hers, by chance?
I have tried Toms a very long time ago, maybe 7 years ago and didn’t have luck then, I wonder if they changed their formula?

Hi. I saw the homemade version and thought about making it but couldn’t bring myself to. I don’t use enough to feel the strain of $4.00 every other month or so. This one works pretty good. Like I said it doesn’t mask or hide the sweat but it does keep you dry and stink free for the day.

Have you used Jason’s Nik? That’s the one I have been using for probably 4 mths and I really like it. I hadnt liked any other natural ones I’d previously tried. I have tried Jason’s apricot and tea tree varieties and like tea tree most.

Hi Meg – I tried Jason’s unscented for both Aaron and I but found they didn’t keep us smelling fresh after a whole day. Maybe a scented version might work – i’ll have to try it. And with this heat you know you need something strong 🙂

Polly Pog Watch makes the BEST natural deodorant ever! I love the Lemon Lavender and it keeps you odor free all day!!! Can’t say enought about that one. It is natural with no chemicals and baking soda which is complemented by cocoa butter and rich moisturizers so as not to irritate skin. I made my own for awhile but the oils make it too cakey after several weeks and I could never find a good storage container. I think I should have used the solid coconut oil but ever since I ordered this one, I’ll never go back! She has tons of yummy scents and is super nice!
